This large, penthouse condo suite near the vibrant Yonge and Sheppard intersection includes a den and a large, wraparound terrace.

The Tridel-built highrise includes environmentally-friendly building materials and ventilation systems. It is also “smart-wired” to allow residents remote access and control of their homes’ temperature, lights, blinds and music — for example — by phone.

“It was a seamless transition moving to this condo from a house — with over 2,000 square feet of living space and 10-foot ceilings, we have never felt like we were downsizing,” says homeowner Marissa Pineda.

“We have a big, close-knit family, and we like getting together often. Watching fireworks displays across Toronto from the wraparound balcony is one our favourite activities. We have unobstructed views of the CN Tower and most of Toronto. As well, we have a second private balcony off the kitchen — the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee.

“The location is very convenient as it is a short walk to the TTC, shops and restaurants, including a new Whole Foods that opened at the end of the block. The majority of the people occupying this building are owners, many with families,” adds Pineda.

Amenities in the building include a 24-hour concierge, a games room, guest suites, a gym, an indoor pool, a party/meeting room, a library/study room, a media room, and visitors parking.

“The owner has bragging rights for having one of the largest size terraces in the area. There’s a hookup for a gas barbecue, and space for a good number of chairs and a large dining table,” says listing agent Isaac Quan.

“The unit also has many upgrades and some of those include custom-designed cabinets and shelving in the den and living room, and custom built-ins in the master bedroom and secondary bedroom walk-in closets,” Quan adds.

The front door of the suite opens to the foyer with marble tile floor, crown mouldings, a walk-in closet, access to the double door laundry room and also to a powder room.

A 10-foot ceiling adds to the spaciousness of the living room that also has a wide-plank hardwood floor, a custom-built entertainment cabinet, floor-to-ceiling windows on two walls, crown moulding and a garden door walkout to a wraparound terrace.

The adjoining dining room also has a wide-plank hardwood floor, crown moulding, high ceilings, smart lights, a modern chandelier-type light, and a floor-to-ceiling window.

Modern and sizable, the kitchen can be entered from the dining room or from the foyer’s double French doors. Highlights include granite counters, a marble tile floor, pot lights, ceramic tile backsplash, a large island, custom-built wood cabinetry with ample storage space, an integrated fridge, and stainless steel appliances that include a built-in oven.

A breakfast nook is just off the kitchen and has a marble tile floor, crown moulding, a floor-to-ceiling window, a pendant light, double sinks, crown moulding, and a garden door walkout to a separate balcony.

The den is accessed through double French doors from the dining room and has custom, built-in, floor-to-ceiling shelves with undermount lights, pendant lights and a hardwood floor.

Highlights of master bedroom include a hardwood floor, two walk-in closets with custom built-ins, a large window and a four-piece ensuite with a separate shower stall and tub. (Living Realty Brokerage Inc.)

Two walk-in closets, with custom built-ins, are in the master bedroom that also has a large window and a four-piece ensuite with a separate shower stall and tub.

The second bedroom also has a walk-in closet with custom built-in cabinetry, a hardwood floor, a large window and a three-piece bathroom with a tub.

The wraparound terrace is enormous with clear southwest views and a connection for a gas barbecue.
